Bob...the food fight is not scheduled for a few months, but since I have been feeding raw, the many dogs that I have purchased and the few litters that I have bred over the past 9 years have never had ear problems...and before this time, I've glued ears, taped ears, wrapped ears....done it all......raw my brother is the way to go!.....many will hear, few will listen....a teacher had this saying on one of her stamps......FB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert George" <bruiser@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "Showgsd-L" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 4:41:18 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Ear Supplements WE had a nice woman come over this past weekend with two GSDs for our help.  The vet had sent her to us to have the dogs ears taped.  It was a brother and sister, both long coats.  The male was sable and the female was black and tan.  Large bones, very nice temperaments, from a breeder somewhere in Texas.  Anyway, we taped the ears and the lady asked if there's anything she needs to give them that may help.  All I could think of was that I remember giving calcium to a puppy a long time ago.   So I was wondering, does anyone out there give supplements to help get ears up and when do you give them?  Thank you, -Bob George  Enchanted Vista, Home of:  CH Rocknoll Ajax Nike Clayfield CD, RN; Alkay's Black Velvet; CH Jerrwen's Southern Belle; CH Jerrwen's Georgiana HIC; Hi Dreams Allegra v.
